Re: TOGA! TOGA! TOGA! (Long, But From The Heart)

Miles, a truly wonderful review.  Everyone at Montalvo (and probably in San Jose) can testify that you were yellin' "I wanna hear motorcycles!"  LOL  It was great!    Venice is a really good band.  They sang LTTM with everyone the last night and were in heaven.  Their lead singers told us they love the Doobie Brothers and were thrilled to open for them.  They also mentioned the fans and our dedication.  Ann told them they probably made a few fans this week, two she knew of and was sure a lot more. You're right, they are worthy of our attention.    Apparently there was no doubt the Brothers could still deliver as the place was sold out all three shows (could have been sold out for five.)   Chris S. is awesome!  What wonderful seats!  And you are right on the money when you talk about the after concert jams.  Those guys were great!  I took pictures of the cakes, they were beautiful.   Sad to say I was also busy and do not remember the names of the band with the NVF.  They rocked.  A lovely group of people who played their music from the heart.  Many thanks to the Brothers who stood there and clapped in time to the music.  I'm sure they made the band feel special.   Helen   PS I love the way you incorporated a few song titles in your review.
